JOHN H. SHAW, OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOIt TO SARGENT & QQM PANY,

. OF NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT LOCK Application filed'Mar-ch7, 1929. Seria1 No. 344,973. r

This invention relates to locks'and it has especial reference tomortise locks of the type in which a latch bolt is'provided which may be retracted from either the interior or the exterior of the door.

One of the primary objects of the invention is to furnish avery simple, inexpensive and efiicient mechanism for a lock of, the general character stated. p v

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved form of lock of the above character in which means is provided for dogging the latch bolt against operation b the knob on the exterior of the door.

A further object of the invention is to provide key controlled means at the exterior of the door for releasing the exterior knob of the door from the dogging means whereby the latch bolt may be retracted by the'knob.

a To theseand other ends, the invention consists in the novel features and combination of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed. l

having a lock according to my invention mounted therein; V

Fig. 7 is a sectional view along line 77 of Fig.

Fig. 8 is a sectional View. along line 8 8 of Fig. 7 and Fig. 5.

Referring to the drawings in which I have illustrated my invention by showing a preferred embodiment ofthe' same, the reference numeral 10 indicates, in general, a section 50 of a door having mounted therein a mortise having a head 1'6,'a stem 17', and a crosshead Fig. 9 is a sectional viewalong line 29 of lockgenerally indicated by the referen ce numeralll and having a case 12, provided with .a face plate 13 and a cap plate 14.- Reference numeral 15 indicates, in general, a latch bolt 18,1atch'bolt 15 being constantly urged into protracted position by means of compression spring 19, received in an internal bore in stem 17, and bearing against post on case 12.- Inan upperpart of lock;.case12, a retracting lever21 is pivoted, as at 22, lever 21'having an end 23 engaging crosshead -18. Pivotally supported onlever'21 at an 'intermediate point 24 is alink 25, link25 ibeing' pivotally supported on a lever 26 at; an intermediate point, as at 27. Lever 26 at its Upper end is pivotallymounted on;post 28on case 12, and at its lower end is providedwith a laterally extending arm 29 engageableby a plurality of rollbacks 30, 31 and 32, rollback 30 being provided with a preferablyfsquare or otherwise non-circulariaxial opening for the reception of a non-c1rcularstem 33 of knob 34,. which is onthe inside of door 10. Fig. 1 is a fragmentary view of the door Rollback 30' is counterbored,;'as at 35, for the reception of hub 36 on rollback 31, while the latter is counterbored .at.-37 ;for the reception of hub 38 on'rollb'aek 32. Rollbacks 30 and 32; are provided on theirouterends with "hubs 39; and 40 which are, received in oppositely disposed openings in case '12 and face p1ate'14. Rollbacks31 and 32 are pro;- vided with square "or otherwise non-circular openings for the reception of a non-circular stem 41 of knob 42, the latter being disposed on the 'exteriorof the door and secured to stem 41 in a manner to be hereinafter, pointed out. From the above description of the inven tion, it will be readily understood by one skilled in the art that rotation of knob 34 will resultin the rotation of rollback 30, and,

through levers 26 and 21 the retraction of the I, latch bolt 15, while. rotation of knob42 will rotate rollbacks 31' and 32 and retract the latch bolt in a similar manner. r In order that thelatch bolt retracting mechanism may be dogged against operation from the exterior knob of the door, in the present instance knob 42, .th'erollback 3l i s lever or walking beam .47, fulcrumed on case 12, as at 48.

In order to hold the thumb slide in dogging or releasing position slide 45 is provided with a pair of transverse notches 49 and 50 which are engageable by the curved end of spring 51, the latter being bent about a post 52 on case 12 andhaving a hook-like end 53 engaging a post 54 on lock case 12, spring 51 passing between post-'52 and thumb slide 45, slide 45 cooperating'with posts 52 and 54 to hold thes'pring in the lockcase. It will be readily understood without further description that spring'51'acts, as adetent to hold slide 45 at either end of its stroke.

Knob 42 is preferably hollow and has mounted in the interior thereof a sleeve 55 in which is received acylinder lock 56 having on a rearward part thereof a sleeve-like end 57 provided with an axially threaded opening 58 for the reception of the similarly threaded end of stem 41.; Stem 41 is provided with a preferably square bore in which is received a square rod 59, square rod 59 being connected to stem 33 by a swivel joint,

as for example bya pin 60, pin 60 being rotatably received within axial openings in rod 59 and stem 33 and being held against axial movement therein by means of grooves 61 and 62, which are near the ends of pin 60, the-walls of stemr33 and of square rod 59 being struck inwardly into the grooves, as at63. V .f

The arrangement is such thatgrod 59 and stem 33 are free to rotate on pin 60, but are held against axial movement thereon. Passing through the stem 41 and through square rod 59 is a pin 65, stem 41 being provided with oppositely disposed longitudinally extending slots 66 which permitaxial movement of stem 41 on square rod 59, for a; purpose to be hereinafter described.

' Cylinder lock 56 comprises a key plug-67,

a plurality of pin tumblers ,68'controlling' the rotation of the key plug, and a radially movable'bolt 69,v provided with end 70 which is-n'orinally received in an opening 71 in islee've 55. Bolt 69 at its upper end is provided with a bore 72 for the reception of a compression spring 73, one end of which bearsagainst the boltwhile the opposite end is received in an Key plug 67 is provided on its end adjacent the bolt 69 with a crankpin or cam 75 which is received in a transverse slot 76 in bolt 69.

opening 7 4 in the cylinder Uponfthe insertion of a key 77 having suit- 56, a threaded pin 78 is mounted in the cylinder lockand extends into a transverse slot 7 79 in key'plug 67. Preferably, sleeve 55'is mounted inknob 42 by means of threaded sleeve end 80, received in a threaded opening in the knob, rotationof sleeve 55 relatively to the knob 42 being prevented by one or more screws 81,'partly in the sleeve and partly inthe knob. One or more screws 82 pass through knob shank64 and'into knob "42 to secure these parts rigidly together.

Upon the withdrawal of bolt head 7 0' from opening 71, cylinder lock 56 is free to move inan 'axial'direction in sleeve 55, this movement being limitediby screw 83 which passes through sleeve 55 and into axially extending opening 84 in cylinder lock 56. r The operation of the lock may be readily understoodfrom the above description, but

will be'briefly described as followszNormally, the lock parts-occupy the positions shown in Figs. 3 and 5 wherein stem 41 is shown received in the rollbacks 31 and 32; In this position rotation of knob 42 through pin 65 and stem 41. will produce rotation of rollbacks 31 and 32 and through'the medium of levers "21 and'26, the retraction of bolt "15.

end between shoulders 43 and 44 of rollback V 31, whereupon the latteris held against rotation. Since stem 41 is received inrollback 31, it will be readily understood that the knob 42 is now held against turning move ment and the latch may not'be retracted thereby.

If,'however,'a suitable key 77 is now inserted in cylinder lock 56 and rotated, the

bolt head 7 0 of bolt 69 may be withdrawn from opening 71, whereupon the cylinder lock may be moved axially in sleeve 55-into the: position shown in Fig.6,in which position stem 41 is withdrawn from rollback 31, slots 66 permitting relative axial movement between stem 41 androd 59;, The knob- 42 may now be rotated and through the engagement of stem 41 with rollback 32 will retract the latch bolt, as may be readily understood. The severalflparts of the lock maybe left in this position as long as is desirable, and may be restored to dogged position by movingthe cylinder lock axially lnwardlyin sleeve 55 and. rotating key plug67 to bring boltend 70 into opening 71, whereupon the stem 41 is again inengagementwith rollback 31 and i the knob 42 doggedaga1nst operation.

' In order to prevent shoulders 43 and 44 0t V the dogged rollback.

with thumb slide 45, and in order to properly align rollbacks 30, 31' and 32 arnumber of springs 85, 86 and 87 are mounted in a lower part of the lock case 12, springs 85, 86 and 87 being mounted in dove-tailed slots in post 88 on'case 12 and having their outer ends in engagement with the lower flat faces 89 of rollbacks 30, 31 and 32.
